Fade Into Me

Desire

"Are you sure about this?" Kol asked Caroline looking at the building where the Gym was.
Caroline nodded closing the passenger door to his car. "I need to do this."

"Clean up after a party that we didn't attend?" he asked putting his keys away.
She laughed at his silly ways. "Rebekah is in charge to the cleaning committee and I need to try to reconnect with her. We need to make this work because I'm not leaving Nik and she's not being very kind about that."

"She' s always been like that with Nik." Kol said and held the door for Caroline.
"Thank you good Sir." she teased him with a gentle buckle of her knees.

Kol bowed solemnly. "I am one to please fair lady."
"So I've heard." She said quickly and looking attentively at him savoring his reaction.

Kol was smiling but she could see the slight shade of embarrassment in him. "Girls do talk."
Caroline giggled. "You like my friend." she pointed at him with her finger.

"Your friend is hot." he said trying to focus on the second main reason he was so uncomfortable talking about Bonnie.
Caroline laughed loudly pushing the door to the gym open, she was so on to him.

Rebekah gave them a scolding look as they came inside the really dirty Gym "What are you doing here?"
Caroline eased down from her laughter and looked at Kol who encouraged her with a smile. "We came to help you." she easily said and picked one of the black bags, starting on one side of the gym.

Rebekah wasn't impressed nor happy about it but kept picking the red cups from the dance floor. Kol looked at both girls and sighed with the heavy tension between them that kept busy just that they didn't look at each other; he looked at the stage and smiled.

"It looks like it was a big party." Caroline ventured on her mission.
Rebekah closed another full bag. "Yes, I paid for everything and they went and turned my 20's theme into a silly 70's whatever nonsense party."

Caroline smiled, the other blonde was really upset. "I'm sorry that you didn't get to organize it."
She smiled sadly. "It's not like we were attending it anyway..."

Caroline came closer to her. "There will be other dances..."
Rebekah looked at her with a mean smile. "Just because you managed to convince Nik to give you the blood that saved Kol doesn't mean I have to be your friend now."

"We got along before you remembered who I was Bekah... remember that day in the woods? You wanted me as your sister-in-law and gave me this speech about how perfect I would be for him." Caroline tried to reach out to the Original.

"My brother deserves better than some girl he loved as human and that he thinks he owes her something now."
Caroline went back to her side of the gym, resuming to her cleaning. Rebekah looked at her; she felt nothing but hate for the silly blonde that stole Klaus' heart so easily.

Caroline shoved the cups inside the bag with tears burning in her throat. "Brady almost killed me that day while you were all inside the tomb." she whispered.
Rebekah looked up from her chore.

"He was going to kill me but he was going to have some fun with me first and Nik killed him, he saved me and he had no reason to do it. We do have a huge past behind us but we fell in love all over again and I will not give him up Rebekah."
The blonde Original looked down from Caroline in silence.

A loud sound pulled both girls from their moment and they looked at the stage, Kol had fussed around the DJ stand and now the Gym was filled with music.
Caroline smiled at him. "What are you doing?"

"We need music." he simply said and grabbed Rebekah's hand pulling her to him, she fought him but he was swift and she found herself reluctantly dancing to an Elvis remix, she rolled her eyes, even the music choice these silly girls made was appalling. Caroline smiled warmly at the two siblings playfully scorning each other but Kol pulled a smile out of Rebekah and then a laughter as he dipped her down and pulled her back up.
